<br />Consulting Services Agreement between City of San Leandro and Last revised 03/16/2022 <br />PlanIT Geo for Trees Master Plan Exhibit A – Page 12 of 17 <br />will be created that provide the filtered set of public trees for each maintenance activity <br />prescribed and recommended. <br />3. After review, the Consulting Team will prepare the final recommendations for integration into the <br />Trees Master Plan and ongoing implementation by the City. <br /> <br />Task 4.3 Managing Hazards of Declining Trees and Tree Removal <br />Recommendations for management of declining trees, including replacement schedule, and tree removal <br />will be outlined. Specifically, guidance will be prepared for developing a replacement schedule and <br />prioritizing areas where the existing trees are primarily at/near the end of their lifespan, compared to <br />prioritizing neighborhoods where there are no trees yet. <br />1. The inventory will be analyzed to prioritize and schedule the replacement of trees dead or in <br />decline. <br />2. Tiers of priorities for replacement will be developed based on the amount of tree canopy and <br />number of public trees in neighborhoods. <br />3. The trees recommended for replacement will be organized into an interactive worksheet and <br />custom URLs to the City’s TreePlotter inventory software will be prepared to display the trees by <br />replacement tier. <br />4. After reviewing the draft recommendations, the Consulting Team will prepare the final list of trees <br />along with the schedule and recommended replacement species in an interactive worksheet to <br />be incorporated into the Trees Master Plan and implementation efforts going forward. <br /> <br />Task 4.4 Infrastructure Issues <br />Recommendations for managing growing/rooting space, utility line/structure clearances, sidewalk / <br />hardscape damage, construction damage, and fire hazards at the urban/wildland interface will be <br />outlined. <br />1. Inventory will be analyzed to identify trends and potential risks relating to tree conflicts <br />(hardscape, growing space, utilities, WUI). <br />2. Existing practices and operations will be understood through the City staff consultations in <br />previous tasks. <br />3. Recommendations will be drafted and finalized and will include PlanIT Geo’s Trees and Hardscape <br />Conflicts Workbook and Solutions resource. <br /> <br />Task 4.5 Maintenance Record Keeping <br />Based on City staff input, PlanIT Geo's research, urban forest needs, and benchmark comparisons, the <br />Consulting Team will provide recommendations for maintenance record keeping. <br />1. City needs will be listed and examined. <br />2. Best practices, Standard Operating Procedures, and other guidance will be drafted for proper <br />record keeping. <br />3. Demonstration and training on PlanIT Geo's recommendation will be provided virtually to key <br />staff and partners. <br />4. Typically, the Consulting Team recommends subscribing to PlanIT Geo’s TreePlotter INVENTORY <br />software and work order management module.
